While the US media has been diddling around with political barbs and infighting, teleprompters vs palm’prompters, and spinning the stage show that’s the health care bipartisan summit, my mind has been on our US military and NATO troops… including one of our FA own, Old Trooper. The US, NATO and Afghan military have amassed around the village of Marjah to implement Operation Mushtarak, or “Together,” …one leg of the strategy to again seize three key areas of Afghanistan, and beat back the resurgence of the Taliban since NATO took over security in 2006. The overview of the Afghan strategy includes not only the military strategy, discussed here, but “…political development, economic development, counter narcotics, and the Afghanistan police and justice system.”﻿

NATO and the UN. How many times have I said that NATO and the UN SUCK donkey balls?
